PIPE HOLDER.

Application filed November 24, 1924.

To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, Josnrn l-i. Moln'mnn, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brook: lyn,in the county of Kings and State oi: New York,- have invented a new andimproved. Pipe Holder, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description.

This invention relates to pipe holders and more specifically to a standor support which is portable, which may be located on the armof a chair,table, desk or other support, and which will receive and hold a sniokerspipe in position to prevent the ashes from falling out of the pipe.

[in object 01 the invention, therefore, is to provide a device of thecharacter stated which in an ordinary sinoliers pipe can be convenientlylaid or positioned and will hold the pipe in upright position untilagain desired for use.

further object is to provide a device of this character which ispreferably of wire, bent into proper shape, which will be attractive andornamental in appearance and which can be manufactured and sold at areasonably low price or given away for advertising purposes.

With these and other objects in View, the invention consists in certainnovel features cit construction and combinations and arrangements ofparts which will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out inthe claims.

in the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved pipe holder;

igure 2 is a view in longitudinal section s-ehowing the pipe in positionin the holder;

Figure 3 is an end elevation showing the 'e in the holder.

improved pipe holder is composed pre. ably oi. a single piece of wire 1,which at its; intermediate portion is bent into somewhat oblong shapeforming a foot or support 2. The ends of the wire are then bowedoutward, as indicated at 3, to receive the bottom portion of the bowl iof the pipe 5. After these outwardly bowed portions are formed the endsof the wire are Serial No. 751,994.

then slightly oii'set, as shown at 6, and then converge in straightlines, as shown at 7, and are twisted together, as shown at 8.

"ll he extremities of the wires are then bent outwardly and downwardlyand upon themselves, forming feet 9, and these feet 9 are preferablylonger than the toot or support :5, so that ne end of the holder ispreferably higher than the other when positioned on a table. The ofisetportions 6 and the straight portions 7 of the wire form a somewhatrestricted portion 10 to receive the stem 11 or pipe and exert asuliicient gripping or holding action to prevent the possibility oi thepipe tilting. Furthermore, this shape allows the pipe to rest snuglywithin the bowed portions 3 of the wire and ai'i'ords ampleaccommodation for the bowl or portion of the same so as to insure theretention of the pipe in an upright position.

While I have described a precise shape and manner oi construction itisobvious that it is capable of a wide range of modi iication withoutdeparting from my invention, and hence I do not limit myself to thenecise details set forth but consider myself at liberty to make suchslight changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit andscope of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. A pipe holder composed of wire having feet at its ends, and outwardlybowed portions in runs of the wire intermediate the ends of the supportfor the reception of a pipe, said bowed portions having an opening toreceive and support the bowl or he pipe, and said opening having arestricted end to receive a portion of the stem oi: the pipe.

2. A pipe holder composed of a single piece of wire bent intermediateits einls forming an oblong foot, and adjacent its other end having theruns oi? the wire twisted together and projecting di'muiwardly Formingother feet, the runs of the wire between the twisted portion and thelirst mentioned foot being bowed laterally.
